Hi! My name is Rebecca, I'm a hobbyist modelmaker, with some light writing ideas as well. Most of my interests come from the TTTE community, so expect me to info dump about my HC's often.

So, for a while I've had ocean liner brainrot, and it always comes back to the White Star trio. A few weeks ago, with the help of a few close friends, I was able to bring these ladies to digital life.

From left to right: Veronica "Nikki" Andrews, Olwyn Andrews, and Bridgette Andrews.
An illustrated photograph of three women. The bottom of the photograph frame reads "White Star Lines - Harland & Wolff" in cursive. All three women are humanized ocean liners from this company; RMS Titanic, RMS Olympic in the middle, and RMS Britannic on the right. All three women are fair skinned, with varying hair colours (from left to right, they have black hair, strawberry blonde (a mix of ginger and blonde) and dirty blonde (blonde-brunette mix)). All three are wearing sailor outfits as popularized by anime, with thigh-length skirts in the colours of the White Star Line. All three skirts are numbered; 401, 400 and 433, referencing their hull numbers.

"it was.. the best of times.., we were so young, and care free.." *sniffle*

"j-just a shame it couldn't last.. I'm sorry Bridgette.. you deserved a better sister.."

"It was never your fault, Olwyn.. you just.. couldn't get there in time..-"

Only took over 3 months, but thought she could do with a bit of colour on her bones, so, here she is in full Brighton glory!

If there is anyone out there who can assist in the model ship building community, I would appreciate a quick response, thank you-

I have 2 questions, but they could be rather long.

1: What airbrush friendly paints best match the White Star Line palette (included below)?
A digital pallet of White Star Line paint colours with codes, as made (in)famous especially by the Olympic class of ocean liners, such as RMS Titanic. Presented are an assortment of colors, starting with dark brownish-red labeled "Antifouling" with the paint code NARN42, an off-white labeled "Canvas" with the code RM07, a tan labeled "Wooden Deck Planking" with the code ARG01, a dark tan, near orange labeled "White Star Buff" (as seen on the funnels), with a code of US30, a dark grey labeled "Hull Black" with code KM05, a goldish orange labeled "Hull Stripe" with code ACJ19, a separate off-white labeled "Hull White" (likely intended as the superstructure) with code ACUS36, a darker tan labeled "Lifeboats" with code ARB12,a medium brown labeled "Masts" with code NARN44, a peachy colour labeled "Railings" with code ARCA17, a grey labeled "Roofs" with code ACRN36, and a dark grey labeled "Funnel Casings" with code NARN50.

2. Many numbers have been swapped around on the canon characters, 1 & 2 remaining under Thomas/Thalia and Alice, but things immediately start to change. Number 3 is carried by Clementine, a GWR City class OC (pictured below), and 4 is Emily's.
A sprite timeline sheet of ex-GWR 3443/NW 3, Clementine Blaise Churchward, "City of Arlesburgh". She is an add-on member to the class, being built as a gift for the first Topham Hatt. In 1918, just before the Armistice that ended the Great War, she would be involved in a severe accident near Killdane that left her comatose until 1925. As a member of the City class, Clementine rather closely resembles the preserved locomotive GWR 3440/3717 "City of Truro", famous for allegedly making the first recorded 100mph run. The base sprite that I used for Clementine was made by DeviantArt user LocoSprites, with details taken from TSDra90n, Jointline-Studios, GallopingGoose97, and CJ-The-Creator.

Why not, it's been a while, and I've got a whole new AU to discuss (*Anything Goes!*), so-

Fire away!
A redraw of an Edgar Hodges Thomas, as an LMS Fowler 2F "Dock Tank" 0-6-0T steam locomotive. This particular example is painted in North Western Blue with white lining and white wheel rims, numbered 14. The text at the bottom of the image reads "1 Like = 1 AU Fact!"

New lore and fake class, let's go!
A sprite base of a proposed design by Oliver Vaughn Snell Bulleid, the Chief Mechanical Engineer of England's Southern Railway during WW2. This class is a 4-6-4T, or Baltic/Hudson, with 2 sets of pilot/leading and trailing wheels and 3 sets of driving wheels. Here, is the drawing that inspired the previous image, with plenty of text explaining. It reads: "Drawing W6653 of 2 August 1945 and where progression had been made to a large 4-6-4T AKA as per the Furness Railway perhaps? Worth noting is that the "W" prefix related to Brighton-produced drawings. A considerable number of these drawings appear to have survived and are included in a register of Southern drawings (LSWR, LBSCR, SECR and SR) held at the National Railway Museum. However, those listed are not necessarily shown in consecutive numerical or date order (800+ pages of entries). Whilst there are a considerable number of drawings for the components and details of Leader itself, there are many gaps, including for example any further drawings of the proposed weight diagrams/outlines that would eventually lead to No 36001. Just in case anyone ever had the idea of attempting a "new-build" we should say there do not appear to be any drawings of the sleeve valves - perhaps a relief! To return to W6653, it is once again based on the Q1 but with smaller cylinders placed outside. The boiler is also now pressed to 250psi and extended in length by 18in. For an overall weight of 79t, only 51t is available for adhesion, a far from ideal arrangement and likely the same issue that would prevail with the C.S.Cocks proposal dating from around December 1945. (See drawing on page 51.)"

Nameboards of my trainsona (Rosaline) and my self-insert (Lucille Abigail Taylor).

Please, don't ask about Luci's leg, it's a *very* long story.
A TTTE-styled nameboard picture of Rosaline, an LMS Fowler Dock Tank, and Lucille Taylor, the Manageress of the Vicarstown Dieselworks. Both characters are my originals, with Lucille being a self-insert into the TTTE universe, and Rosaline being my personality embued into a locomotive. Lucille is transgender, Rosaline is lesbian.

#AnythingGoesAU
A sprite scene of Clementine (a GWR City Class OC), Rebecca the Bulleid Pacific, and Rosaline (a Fowler 2F OC), all together in a workshop. Rosaline is pushing a 1 plank wagon with a comically large cake (marked 24) and a draped trans flag, while Clementine pushes the carriage from the T&F Series 16 episode "Happy Birthday Sir". (sprites sourced from Princess-Muffins, BaconOverlord582, NightZHowler, SplendidEngine02, GallopingGoose97, Diamond-Jubilee, LocoSprites, Dusk-Stargazer, PassingThruPics02, Amelheronemus, and SudrianShenanigans)

~NWR Mainline, 1941~

"A terrible buzzing filled the air. The trucks stopped singing at once, as James looked back in horror, but couldn't see anything.
He sped forward, hoping the mandated black paint would actually help him.."

#SudrianShenanigansAU #TTTEAU
A sprite scene of the NWR Mainline at night, with James in NW Wartime Black racing down the line followed by several vans of many descriptions. All are looking up to the sky in shock at the sound of a plane. Sprites and background sourced from LocoSprites, Diamond-Jubilee, StarPrince52, SwiftWin4ds, and SplendidEngine02

"Sir Derek surveyed the wreckage. Many engines and vehicles from around the island had come to assist, but most perturbing was the presence of 98642, 87546 and particularly 1105.
And there, in the remains of a brakevan, looking ever worse for wear was-.."

#SudrianShenanigansAU #TTTE
A scene recreation of the Series 1 episode "The Flying Kipper", with Henry in shambles in the snow, and surrounded by the remains of 2 trains. Terence and Butch are present for the clean-up, along with Trevor, hauling away pieces of the brakevan. On the middle line, James and Edward have pushed Judy and Jerome, the breakdown cranes, into position to begin the recovery. On the farthest line, Alled Greedy, 98462 and 87546 are waiting with flat trucks to carry the wreckage of the White Elephant away.

Vicarstown Gantry Bridge
~1964~

"What nobody knew was despite his glittering silver paint, reflecting in the channel, this engine would be no more than a mirror finish hiding a rotten core."

#SudrianShenanigansAU #TTTEAU
A sprite scene of the Vicarstown Rolling Bridge, as first seen in the 2013 special "King of the Railway". Spencer can be seen crossing it, but if you pay attention, you'll notice he isn't quite like the TVS portrayal. The sprites and background sourced from PassingThruPics02 and Princess-Muffins.

Crovan's Gate Steamworks
~1991~

"Following their restorations from scrap condition the previous year, under Rosaline's careful watch, the newest 4 members of the railway were resteamed for the first time in 3 decades."

#SudrianShenanigansAU #TTTEAU
A sprite scene of the Steamworks, as first seen in the 2009 special "Hero of the Rails", with several engines out front. From closest to furthest, these are: Eliza, the Billinton K Class, hauling a Brighton Bullet of supplies for Vicarstown; Rosaline, the Fowler Dock Tank, in her CGW guise before her return to the NWR in 22 years; Barry, an Ivatt 2 much like Arthur, who does work with the Sodor Search and Rescue Center; Jacqueline (Jackie), a 1366 who works on the Norramby Branch, far away from the Great Western influence; Dennis, a Hawksworth Pannier (94xx), who is a people-pleaser; and finally Jeremy, a GWR 43xx modified from a 3150 Prairie early in his career, a bit of a workaholic trying to make up for self-perceived failings. The sprites and background are sourced from: CJ-The-Creator, TSDra90n, NightZHowler, ThomasFan21, Diamond-Jubilee, Princess-Muffins, and LocoSprites. Eliza, Rosaline, Jacqueline, Dennis Hawksworth, and Jeremy are my own characters, I own nothing else from the TTTE franchise.
